New Car - Dodge Charger SRT8

[matt_knowles]

I'm suitably happy with my new purchase. I won't ramble on, as most details are in this thread but here are some quick snaps.

Running in period is 1000km, so I am hammering that out asap!

Can anyone suggest a good place to get it cleaned on a regular basis? I won't be doing the mall washing, and even reluctant to take it to the petrol station places, unless I ask them to use my own cloths etc.

Also, can anyone recommend a good place to take it for paint protection? The dealer offered this, but I thought it was a tad steep to be honest.

To the pics -

Thanks guys.

I'll check out that garage. It already needs a good clean after being stuck in a shower yesterday.

I'll do a bit of research on the paint protection. I did wonder how good the stuff dealerships use.

Don't get sucked into these expensive ceramic coatings which promise to last 3 years, non of them do, same as the dealer based products all claim to last years but in reality nothing does.

A decent sealant and wax is all you need but it will need re applying a couple of times a year, ideally before and just after summer in this climate.

Cheers for that, appreciate the advice.

The M3 sadly went but I wish I still had it :-(
